Thanks for everyone's attendance and input at the January 20th, 2012 TBEP TAC meeting. I'd like to congratulate Kelli Hammer-Levy and Tim MacDonald for their acceptance of the TBEP TAC co-chair nominations. We look forward to the continued progress and efforts to meet the region's research goals in the future! Below I have attached the presentations and notes from the meeting. Noreen Poor was kind enough to provide notes within her powerpoint presentation... Thanks Noreen!

As a next step for the development of the OTB Integrated Modeling project, we anticipate holding a OTB Subcommittee meeting on Thursday, March 22nd from 9am - 12pm. This meeting will be focused on Task 2 of the project: Identification of Needed Data and Preliminary Empirical Data Analyses within Old Tampa Bay. If you'd like to participate in the future as an OTB Subcommittee member and were unable to sign-up at the meeting, please let me know.

Lastly, if you have any comment on the Task 1 report reviewed at the meeting, please let me know by Tuesday, January 31, 2012.
